Kurt Philip Behm Poet Rhyme

Skirting The Downside

Everybody
wants to go
to Heaven
(but)
Nobody
wants
to die

Everybody
want to change
the truth
(but)
Nobody
wants
to lie

Everybody
wants to bend
 the law
(but)
Nobody
wants
to get caught

Everybody
wants to fall
in love
(but)
Nobody
wants  
— pain and loss

(The New Room: August, 2025)
